EGO

                                             EGO


  Everybody carries an ego. The ego is a balloon incorporated in
  one's character.

  The ego-balloon tends to be inflated. The hot air it is inflated
  with is lighter than air.  The owner of a big, inflated ego
  looks big and heavy, but in fact he's just a fat lightweight.
  Also the ego tends to lift its owner from the firm ground.

  Therefore, the owner of a big and inflated ego tends to lose
  contact with the ground and the reality.  The more one's ego
  gets inflated the weaker gets one's contact with reality.

  People with extremely inflated ego face several dangers:  they
  may float away if the wind gets too strong for them to hold
  ground; their ego may explode and they may find themselves
  without any ego at all; worse of all, somebody may puncture
  their ego just when they are taking off and they may crash on
  a hard, rocky reality letting out the hot air in a loud and smelly
  fart.

Easter Greetings

To all of my Christian friends and colleagues

May this new spring holiday season bring with its renewal of the earth
and the warmth of the sun
blue skies above
filled with hope
passion for life
yearnings for peace and tranquility
May we all find the strength of will
Commitment of spirit
And persistence of character to continue
to labor so that this coming year will in fact be a year of
Social justice
Equality   And real peace.

Happy Easter
